Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, these symptoms are worrisome in your case.
Your heart is working only 30%. This can cause heart failure and retention of fluid in the body.
This excess fluid accumulate in the lungs and cause pulmonary edema.
This is the reason for your breathlessness and other chest symptoms.
So along with other drugs, you should also start diuretics and cardiac inotropic drugs.
Diuretics will remove excess fluid while inotropic drugs will increase force of contraction and improve heart function.
Cause if this in your case is unknown.
Consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
